One of my favorite tech review and benchmarking sites, ExtremeTech, has an excellent article up by one of (if not their most senior) editors: Loyd Case.
Watching segments with Loyd is one of my favorite things about the weekly Web TV show DL.TV, and more than once have I used his suggestions when building a new rig, deciding on components to buy, and as the deciding factor among several competing and conflicting reviews. So one of ExtremeTech’s top stories this week is Loyd answering “6 Questions You’re Afraid to Ask,” and they’re all worth reading.
From whether or not partitioning is bad in this day and age to whether more RAM is better than RAM with different clock speeds, Loyd tears into some questions that are common hot topics around forums and boards across the Web. Usually you’ll never come to a solid conclusion, byt Loyd tries to put you in the right direction and let you know what you should really be concerned about – if there’s anything to worry about at all. Definitely worth reading, and more than deserving of a bookmark if you find yourself coming back to some of these questions often.
